Here are 4 Things to Remember When Life Gets Tough:

Today is not forever

Some days I wake up, and I think to myself how pointless it is to keep going.

Whether we admit it or not, we all go through this thought. We often make ourselves believe that just because things are not going our way now then this is how it’s going to be for us for the rest of our lives – just being miserable.

We forget to remind ourselves that nothing is permanent. Today is not forever.

All the hurt, the struggles and the failures that we are going through will not last.

Sometimes, you just need to take a step back and just take it one day at a time.

I know sometimes doing that can be really difficult.

Especially, when life gets too overwhelming.

But believing that everything I was going through now will pass and that nothing last, gave me a reason to carry on.

It made my days a little less dark.

Keep reminding yourself that you’re struggles are only temporary – doing this makes all the difference!

You are so much stronger than you think

Growing up, I hated needles. I feared them. I didn’t like the pain that it brings even if that pain only lasts a second.

When I was playing with other kids, I was always so cautious. I didn’t want to scrape my knee. I didn’t want to go through the pain.

I have always been cautious about pain, about suffering.

Looking back, I even remembered thinking of my greatest fear and I said this to myself: “If I ever have to go through that, I will never make it, I’m not strong enough”
